Got crab cake platter. Nice mixture of vegetables. Good salad. I'm from Maryland. Crab cake was okay but not the lump crab I'm used to. Great waitress.

We held an event here in the newly renovated space. It was wonderful. The food was good and well priced. The room was clean and spacious. The live music in the main restaurant was not too loud and it added to the party. Our server Brittany went above and beyond (delivering cake and water to a nursing mama in the corner without being prompted, taking pictures, cutting cake, etc.). It was easy as can be to book it and the room was ready when we arrived, even with favors set up. Then we got to take extra food home. 10/10 would recommend!

I decided to give this restaurant another chance. The hostess was friendly but very talkative. Everytime I have been there, it never fails to have at least one fly buzzing around. The quesadilla was very greasy. Maybe it was from the quality of the cheese. Not going back.

My crab bisque and seafood salad was fantastic !!! However my husband went for a steak and cake and steak was smaller than the crab cake , and plate was pricey $39.00 !! The jazz music played by Back Bay Trio was phenomenal đđ«

Had a great experience at the Blue Crab Grill. Ordered half dozen oysters and a crab and shrimp salad. One of the oysters was a little off, but otherwise the rest of the meal was very nice. The server was exceptional, and the environment was very accommodating for my business meeting. I would definitely go back if in the area.

Expanded blue crab has a nice atmosphere and consistently good seafood. The smoked fish platter is very good. We also really enjoyed the oysters Rockefeller. Very good taste and not salty. The waitress was very friendly and it was not overly crowded.

My best friend loves this place so we met here for dinner 8/9/25. I enjoyed my time with her and the service was excellent, but the food has some positives and negatives.
First of all I went here specifically for Fried Fresh Oysters (my favorite seafood) and before 6:00 pm on a Saturday they âran out.â In addition, I overheard a different waitress telling another table that they âran out of lobster.â Seems like poor planning to me for a seafood restaurant to run out of two major types of seafood that early in the day.
The waitress Yarley was phenomenal and the male host was super friendly. Both checked in on us often & were very attentive.
The complimentary rolls were fresh, hot, & delicious! The wedge salad was special made for us as a starter (without lobster) and it was great. Yarley even had it split up for us on two different plates.
I am not one who usually complains about wait times because fresh food is worth waiting for and I understand being a chef is not easy especially when it gets busy. However, when we arrived it looked slow and gradually got a little busier, but they did not appear slammed at all and the wait was VERY long!
We arrived at 5:55 pm and didnât leave until 8:00 pm. On the waitress end everything was prompt. Our drinks and bread came out quick. Then we had our salad, but the wait between salad and two fried entreeâs was at least 45 minutes if not an hour.
I got the fried seafood platter, but donât like Calamari, so they graciously substituted more shrimp instead.
Our food was served hot. The fried shrimp & fish were good. The large scallops were delicious, however the crab cake was disappointing. If youâre going to call your restaraunt âBlue Crab Grillâ your crab cakes should be on point & have some jumbo lump in them instead of looking more like a fish cake when you cut it in half.
The baked potato was good. The coleslaw was delicious and my ice tea was perfectly brewed!
The excellent front staff service tipped my review into 4 stars. If the food matched the service, this would be a 5 star.

Food and drinks were awesome as usual. I was there with a friend and we paid with separate checks. Both of us paid with a card but were charged a fee to use a credit card. Not a good look for this restaurant. Was disappointed that they would pass these charges onto their customers.
